Online Card Classes - Maskerade! Day 4

Hello Friends,

It supposed to be my busiest day of the month and what am I doing? Hmmmm, some of you know me, don't you! I've been playing! I'm totally caught up in this great Online Card Class, I just have to make something every day, if I can, whilst it's live!

Today we were learning about using freezer paper for masking. To be totally honest, it doesn't seem to have worked well for me. I don't think I have the correct stuff :(! I've tried glassine paper and waxed food paper, but neither worked for me today!

So in my haste to make something and to get very similar results, I used a very old technique. I clear embossed the leaves image with clear embossing powder, did all the stamping and then covered the image with copier paper and ironed off the embossing powder from my artwork - phew!

I water colored the background first, but it wasn't great and as I'd messed around for far too long today (my busiest day of the month), I decided to use my ink blending tool and blend ink all over to cover up a pretty blotchy background!

Private Tuition - One to one:

I have been a crafting teacher for about 17 years. I have been teaching the Silhouette software (Silhouette Cameo/Silhouette Portrait) for the last 5 years, on a one-to-one basis and also teach/run workshops on Parchment craft, using the Clarity Groovi system and general card making classes. If you are interested in being looked after for the day while you learn how to make your crafting projects look great, then email me. I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge with you soon.
